Funny...lol."What are they going to do about prejiduce regarding staff and students from the upper levels"?When is a migrant student going to be considered an equal and accomodated to, and not just considered a $7500 paycheck from the government?

When are the words "wet-back" and "slu*" not going to be used regarding students?When are students going to be judged by their own character and not that of their parent(s), or skin color, or athletic ability?

You wanna see stereotypes implemented...just take a visit.

You know my number.I will testify.

Hmmm.Something to consider next round ...geniuses:)

As far treating students and staff the same, I agree. The reality is that everyone (even you) have predjudices, agendas, and beliefs. Not everyone can hold them in check and do their jobs objectively. Could you hold your tongue if a student stated his/her conservative republican beliefs in your classroom? What if a female student mentioned Palin in glowing terms? What if your daughter's teacher made nasty comments about Obama?

I don't think racist and sexist comments are ever appropriate. It doesn't matter if you're talking about a kid or an adult. If your students read your posts, how can you justify your previous statements?

Holding a person's tongue is a part of every job.

#1.We did speak objectively in class.

#2.Everyone was encouraged to hold their own opinion and stand by that opinion, yet be open to debate and/or ridicule by peers...not me.

#3.Probably 95-98% were conservative Republican, or at least their family's were.

#4.18 year olds were encouraged to vote without any advice or referrence to a candidate, as that type of stuff is not ethical in a teaching environment and is prohibited by the state.

#5.They would probably laugh at my posts as they would know that sometimes, one just has to have some personality.Not be puro serio siempre':)

No different than what Tina Fey did on national television.Purely rated PG.

Also, what teachers did you like most?The a-holes or beeches, or the guy or gal that laughed along with you, was serious when he needed to be, lent a hand wherever needed, and taught you the most in a comfortable environment?

I'd say the latter.

I don't have to defend myself for anything, but the opportunity just arose from the news story.Thanks for the questions GetReal...seriously.

The truth shall prevail my friend.If burning bridges was my intent, I could own a town in the near future.I'm not that type.

But, I do not ignore, and am a believer in the system.I disagree with some personnel appointments and practices within the system, but oh well.I'm referring to our justice system and school systems.

Wish that I could tell you more.If you are talking about job opportunities.I would rather drive a loader full of manure, than work under that Administration again."I'm not proud, when it comes to providing for my family"!

I see a pattern here. Educator takes a job, then "resigns" from a job, then goes hatin' on the administration. De ja vue from his LCC days.

He no longer works at Holly, doesn't have children in the district. I don't know why he would care what they do.

Wow... to say the least there Carnyvore.

Do you not care how the person standing next to you is treated?Do you not stand up for others or go by the rules objectively regarding discipline and/or concern?

The pattern that you apparently see is not your imagination.

The pattern that you see is that I don't stand for mistreatment based on any prejiduce, or "saving face", or good-ole boy systems.It is fricken disgusting and it is time for an end to such.

Carny I know who you are and I respect this community more than I do you.Therefore I will not attack you, as you do me.

Your defense is just as simple as my defense was when you identified me a long time ago.

What is odd is that most of our Grandparents or Parents thought that they'd never see the day a black man entered the White House."I have hope that I will see the day that this COUNTY is objective and color-blind in all fascets of government and civilian life.'Our children deserve it'.'That is my mission"!

educator:

1.) You know who I am. So what.You mustalso know that to call me racist is preposterous.

2.) I have never referred to you in any of my posts by any but your alias. Others have namedyou, probably from your own loose lips. Not I.

3.) I have already explained the KFC comment, after you didn't get it the first time. You expect me to explain again? And while we are at it, what exactly is racist in that comment? We have a KFC in Lamar, and I am a regular customer. Grasmicks were giving away their end-of-season watermelon at the time. Can you point out exactly why that comment was racist?

4.) Am I to stand by while you say bad things about good people? Do you even know the makeup of an accountability committee? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it is made up of mostly lay-persons (parents), maybe a couple of teachers, who make their own bench-marks to present to the board. Therefore, your selfish comments about administration are inappropriate concerning this article.

5.) I know precisely why you don't work there anymore, and it isn't for any of the heroic reasons you would like us all to believe.It is time to stop blaming others for your own stupid mistakes.

6.) Typically, you high-jack every forum to advance your own agenda.Please stop it.

7.) If you choose to respond, please do it when you are coherent. I don't read a lot of your posts anymore because I can't make heads or tails of them. I doubt the DA can either.

I'm over it.When I say county, I mean in general, as they know who they are, not specifically you.I know that your comment was just out of fun, but it was some bait.

About the other issue.Good for you.I'm glad that you have the "inside" there in H-town, speaking of DA...get it.

This is my last comment in this forum, as I already see where this is headed.
